On Pentecost Sunday, Pope Francis lamented discontent and division in the world. “We are all connected, yet we are apart, numbed by indifference and oppressed by loneliness. So many wars, so many conflicts: it seems incredible what an evil person can do,” the pope said.
Several hundred faithful and cardinals sat in pews and chairs around the altar. The pope seemed in good shape. He had canceled several appointments on Friday due to a fever.
50 days after Easter, Christians celebrate Pentecost and Easter comes to an end. It is one of the solemnities of the Catholic Church year. The festival commemorates the so-called language miracle on Pentecost. According to biblical tradition, the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples and they began to speak in tongues. This united them and allowed them to proclaim the message of Jesus to other people without language barriers. Pentecost is therefore also called the “birthday of the church”.
